Yifei Dong

Hi there! I’m a PhD student at KTH in Stockholm, working with Prof. Florian T. Pokorny and Xianyi Cheng at Duke. I hold an M.Sc. from ETH Zürich and a B.Sc. from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. My résumé is available here.

My research focuses on enhancing the robustness of robotic manipulation in the presence of uncertainty and external disturbances. I study the foundations of robust robotic and biological behavior and develop methods that combine reactive control strategies with optimization of robot embodiment to ensure reliable and adaptable manipulation.
